Just completed the re-barrel job on my Winchester 1876 Express rifle. The loads that have been tested in it thus far are the 300gr .510 soft lead over a case full of 2ff Swiss Bp. std. win. lg. rifle primer . This load shows good promise and is a real blast! Next will try the .350 gr. lead .510 bullet. Recoil is there but not excessive .Hope to try the Express rifle on wild hog soon.

that is a beauty ! I have one that I am going to take for moose this fall. 50/95 should do the trick.

Thanks for the replies. hfcable that is a Dandy. Good luck on the Moose hunt, no telling how many have fallen to the old .50/95 wcf. Would be interested in your load. Have been shooting the 300gr. soft lead @510" in this one. Have some 350gr bullets same style the round blunt , will test the 350's next . This one has a new barrel cut rifle and a ROT of 1-48". ,,Should handle the 350's no prob. ,,DT

.

Both of those 1876's emit a very alluring glow, just begging to go out for a hunt ! !

Very nice.

Good luck, with them, to both of you.

Nice looking rifle. A big slug like that should put a serious hurt on just about anything.

It's no great secret I'm not a big fan of Winchester's these days unless it's to turn them over for profit .

However ............................................. ,

The Model 1876 in 50-95 and the 1886 in 50-100 or 50-110 have always and still intrest me a great deal .
